I love this theater. Nice stage (though a little small), great sound, dual video screens, lots of aisles in hall, nice lobby, good lighting. All in all a great venue for a lot of different groups. It feels small and cozy, even though it fits a thousand plus. Which is cool.

It was okay its a beautiful facility. We were in the handicap seats with my dad and it was hard to see the stage. We were there for the dino light show so when the things were on the bottom of the stage it was hard to see.This auditorium would have been much better if they would have raised the stage hire maybe they can still do that. They do put on some quality shows I have been there in the past. I understand that cost money but wish they would lower the prices some so more of us could go that couldnt afford those bronze-level tickets.

Living in a relatively rural area its a real blessing to have the Alan Jay Wildstein Center for the Performing Arts so close by. It gives us the opportunity to see a wide diversity of entertainment without having to travel very far. The facility is beautiful and there are really no bad seats. They have lots of volunteers who are very cheerful and happy to assist.

The performance of Stories of the Bible was exceptional!!!! This was my first visit to the Alan Jay Wildstein Center and it is absolutley beautiful. I was not sure of the seating when I purchased my ticket however I do believe that no matter where you sit you would have a good seat. However, the ushers at the center were the rudest women I think I have ever come across at a performance like this, with the exception of a couple of ladies! I understand a place of this stature has to have rules but rules can be enforced nicely!!!

Nice place, but that guy has some ego, his name plastered on everything. Owns all those dealerships, a monopoly if you ask me, but no one did

Review №33

Paid for a dance recital arrived almost an hour before the performance and other guest were allowed to reserve rows of seats for people who were not yet at the facility. I was in a boot but, not allowed in the row where there was room to accommodate my injury asked for help and to speak with a manager was told they are watching.

Mostly good design but sound system and too small projection screens lacked quality. Sound system scratchy and tinny distorting voices beyond clear distinction. Small overhead projection screens could not be seen clearly unless you were in the front few away rows
